Der mexikanische Präsident tut eine mögliche „sanfte Invasion“ der US-Truppen als „Film“ ab: „Wir werden immer unsere Souveränität verteidigen“

**Submission statement**

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum rejected discussions of a potential “soft invasion” of Mexico under a future Trump administration, warning that such actions could undermine Mexico’s sovereignty. The proposed plan allegedly involves U.S. special forces conducting covert operations, drone strikes, and assassinations on Mexican soil—a strategy Sheinbaum dismissed as fictional. A global affairs expert cautioned that militarizing the border and mass deportations might bolster cartel recruitment.

“We will always defend our sovereignty”, except for the 30% of our territory controlled by cartel mini states.

A soft US invasion of Mexico most likely would be a failure. Covert operations to kill heads of the cartels wouldn’t do anything. Someone would take the former leaders position or they would splinter off and make an organization.

If the US is thinking of using drones then there’s a high probability of accidentally striking civilians like the US has done in the Middle East. This could cause militia groups to form or more to join the cartels and higher chances of terrorist attacks coming over the border.

The US led an expedition to apprehend Pancho Villa within Mexico. The US never got Pancho Villa and the Mexican populace hated the US for it. Seems like history will repeat itself.

Seems like a bad idea.
